Pamela for Model Number MVWX600X

Model Number: MVWX600X Brand: Maytag Age: 1 - 5 years -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This machine is 3 years old. It has never gotten clothes clean. Maytag service techs (and 3 other private techs sent out by Homedepot or Maytag) said the machine is operating property and performing as it should. My response was always "then I guess the machine is not expected to clean clothes!" From that comment I would receive a "knowing" smile and nod. I am extremely frustrated. I did replace the actuator recently (thank you and your staff) and the problem of not draining and spinning is fixed. Still leaves clothes dirty. Any organic material is still on the items, and simple baby powder will not even wash off. We call the machine a clothes wetter. Is there anything I can do? I have used all types of soaps, washing machine cleaners (including the one you sell) and no difference. Powdered Tide seems to work better if I put the power in the tub (even dissolved in hot water) but that usually just leaves some on the laundry. Thanks in advance for any helpful hints or suggestions - maybe this is just a lousy washer..... also, tired of going to and paying for a laundrymat

Answer

Hello Pamela. This model does not have the washing ability as a traditional washer. Try washing a larger load and see if they clean any better. The theory is the cloth rub against them selves and this cleans the clothes with the addition of soap and water.
